I had a rather upsetting chat with a family member about the gay marriage stuff a few weeks ago.
They're a normally very intelligent, very well-informed person, albeit wrong of opinion most of the time.

They used the terms "diseased" and "hobby".

It was at a family gathering, and I had to walk away from it or it would have proper kicked off.

I was genuinely quite upset by their outlook and ignorance.

sounds like they should have used the words "denial" and "i'm firmly" and "in it"

That is very much where it was going to head (as it were).
Indeed, the subsequent gossip surrounding the fallout has already.

Nothing drives them to apoplexy faster
than countering their every argument with a sympathetic look, pat on the shoulder and saying "it's okay to acknowledge the feelings you're having for other men, you're amongst friends here, we won't judge you."

I ended up in quite an argument with my girlfriend over it
She's for it, but wanted to see a logical and intelligent reason to oppose it, as she didn't want to think her dearly departed grandfather was a massive bigot.

Turns out, he was simply a massive bigot.

THing is - in true fence-sitting style - we've got some lezza mates who are massively anti-religion (Misogynistic Brainwashing Bullshit).
They've been waiting until the bill passed, so that they can get married in a church.

Which also pisses me off.

Shit I appear to be serious internetting - my apologies. If it's any consolation I did a MASSIVE fart yesterday.

Aye, I know the feeling
I too farted yesterday, although it was disappointingly quiet, after all the build up.

Especially when you draw your other half's attention to it.
I like to clap in time, and a squeak is rubbish:

"Clap, clap, clappity clap pfft" is tantamount to telling them you're impotent.

Mine is still annoyed at me after she was cuddling up to me during an emotional part of a film, and I let loose an afternoon-ale-session-driven fart
Fuck me, it reeked.

I honestly don't understand all this.
We were at a wedding (oop nurth, it must be said) at which during the ribaldry and B4NT3R it became clear that pretty much everyone except me and Monty (cough) regularly broke wind in front of their partners - or in each other's faces etc. I just don't get it. Why on earth would you do that?

The doris and I don't do this, either.

It's just so...common.

you save the windy love for stunned, right?
i'd NEVER do that. urgh.

some blokes do, some don't. greggshat never did, but he would text me from the pub toilets to say, "just having an unexpected shit, swipe."

RANK.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 18 Jul 2013, 11:19, Reply)

Again, why?
I am at a loss. You want to preserve some level of attraction to each other, surely?

Taking a power-dump with the door open and then talking about it is just not my idea of sexy. Call me weird.
( wanderlust, Thu 18 Jul 2013, 11:22, Reply)

People fart.
When you're in a relationship, you might as well enjoy doing so.

Bingo.

Yes, common people enjoy bingo too, I am told.

One excuses oneself to the bathroom
farts with the fan on, returns. Everybody politely ignores the incident.
